It wasn't a ball

Bobby V. looking like a genius, predicting that Craig would "do some damage" against Harrison's fastball 5 seconds before the homer.

I see Detroit as a likely suitor. They have money coming off the books, lose no key players to FA, could easily move Jhonny Peralta to third base, and Reyes is the kind of piece that could make them division champs for the next 2-3 years. Also San Francisco probably wants him too. This is not good.

They can - and often do - award them not only to players and coaches but also to announcers and even certain office personnel beyond just the obvious ones who are connected with the on-field part of the operation. Exactly, and who the ring was issued to is all of the value. Things I learned from Pawn Stars on the History Channel: A Miami Heat 2006 Championship Ring from a non-player was worth $9,000. A set of Atlanta Braves rings from the 90s (91, 92, 95 NL Champs + 95 WS rings) for a non-player was worth $10,000. A cheerleader's Superbowl Ring from the 1989 San Francisco 49ers is worth $2,000.

I hate the color red

Can anyone here remember the last time they drank a Budweiser? Nope? Me either.

Dammit

Pitcher hitting (Cardinals out of position players)

Hamilton : this game :: Molina : that game. Eat shit, Cardinals.

Thanks Josh

Yeah, I know. FUCK

Strikeout looking for the second out.

I'm glad Endy will get the world series ring he rightly deserves.

There's a reason these guys were 10 games out of the wild card in September. Time for that overachieving bullpen/lineup to turn back into pumpkins...

I still cannot believe how many people are caught up on that issue.

I read an article recently that suggests Dave Dombrowski (Tigers President) would be a good choice.

Yes, that's correct. No team -- major or affiliated minor league -- can play anywhere in the territorial rights area described earlier in the thread without the consent of both the Yankees and Mets.

The 4 losses are: 1. 2003, Florida is up 3-2 and wins Game 6 and the series at the house of evil; 2. 1981, Dodgers are up 3-2 and wins Game 6 and the series at the house of evil; 3. 1997, Florida is up 3-2 but comes home and loses Game 6 to Cleveland before winning Game 7; and...what's the fourth? I honestly can't remember it.

It's also a different story if, after the IW, the other team PH's and changes the matchup. In this case though TLR brought Lynn in strictly for IW purposes which seems to make no sense. Hmm. I guess that must have been what Bobby was doing that game. I think Wendell went 2-0 on Jordan and then Bobby brought Cook in who finished the walk. Cox pinch-hits with Hunter (a righty) and then Bobby brought Mahomes in, which meant that Cox would've then needed to burn another player if he wanted to avoid a L-L or R-R matchup. BRAVES 7TH: Williams popped to right; Boone was hit by a pitch; NIXON RAN FOR BOONE; WENDELL REPLACED HERSHISER (PITCHING); C. Jones struck out; Nixon stole second; COOK REPLACED WENDELL (PITCHING); Jordan was walked intentionally (walk was charged to Wendell); HUNTER BATTED FOR KLESKO; MAHOMES REPLACED COOK (PITCHING); Hunter walked [Nixon to third, Jordan to second]; A. Jones flied to left. 0 R, 0 H, 0 E, 3 LOB. Braves 2, Mets 2.

Bobby V. criticizing LaRussa using a reliever to just issue an intentional walk saying that "that could burn him in the 14th inning; he deserves to lose in the 15th." Gwreck: Didn't Bobby use Dennis Cook for that exact purpose in the Ventura game?

I think that seals MVP if the Rangers win.

Given that they still employ people like Chris Berman and Tim McCarver, it's pretty clear to me they don't care about quality.
